MAYOR BECHER TELLS
WHY HE IS THANKFUL
Because Our Troubles Are Relatively Light and Because This
Is a Land Where Honest Endeavor Finds Reward.
PUBLIC HEALTH IS GOOD
A writer for The Sun meeting-
Mayor Logan W. Becher in the city
hall asked him for a few expressions
covering Thanksgiving day.
"Get your pencil ready," saicl the
Mayor, "and I'll dictate a few."
I am thankful because I live in
North Canton, the best town of its
size in the world.
I am thankful because we have the
Community Building, four fine
churches, good schools, good police
officers, good water, good fire department, good citizens, and a good newspaper-.
Because the public health is good,
with no plagues or epidemics to cause
public alarm and danger.
Beacuse such dread scourges as tuberculosis are on the decline in Stark
county, and particularly because that
killer of babies, diphtheria, is rapidly
being annihiliated through the discoveries of science backed by the force
of public opinion.
Because the schools are fuller of
little children than they ever have
' been before and their safety on the
, public highways is a matter of con-
-. cern to all citizens.
Because hatred and intolerance are
giving way to the broader and saner
notion that the true doctrine for this
■ land of so many diverse races and
creeds is the gospel of good will and
forbearance.
Because the bootlegger knows that
North Canton is a town to keep away
from.
Because the public conscience has
been awakened to the peril of organized crime.
Because all the officials in North
Canton are pulling together to make
this a better town.
Because our program of safety first
is going/along nicely and the people
are giving it real support.
Because the elections are over and
the ^people qan get down to the simple business of living, undisturbed by
the clamor of politics. '

Because we have men at the head
of the hugei Hoover factory with a

who take Christianity into their business, who conscientiously try to conduct all their activities according to
the Se#i*?t6n on the Mount; men who
are going' cheerfully, hopefully and
happily about the task of making- the
average life of the average American
richer and fuller than it has ever been.
Bcause our troubles are relatively
light. Our tax burdens are far below
what many towns in Ohio have to
bear and we'make a better showing.
Because this is a land where honest endeavor finds reasonable reward,

Loftiest Peak, Says Kramer.
Two years ago wliei) the salaries
of all North Canton village officials
were increased to meet the high cost
of living, the salary of tha village
treasurer, through an.1 unintentional
oversight, was left at the same figure.
On Monday night Council rectified
this injustice by increasing- the salary of Guy Price from'-$100 to ?200
per year, the same to take effect beginning- with the year lj>2S. Mr. Price
is under a bond of ?5,Q0O.

THANKSGIVING GAME
PROMISES A THRILL
-. "My Master Singer today is John
McCormack who has earned his title
gallantly and who carried it proudly
and with honor," writes Walter Kramer, the well-known composer and
musical authority, in discussing the
world-famous tenor who will be heard
on Tuesday evening, November 29, at
the City Auditorium, Canton, in his
last Ohio appearance of the season.
"There is no one in today's singing
world whose brow more richly deserves the laurel," he continues. "For
John McCormack has attained to the
loftiest peak of. his art—that altitude
where few have the power to withstand, the dizzy height, that domain'
where only the elite reign in undisputed glory, those few whose message
has an appeal to all, high.and.low of
bro.w, rich ind poor in musi.cal knowledge, in short, musician.and layman
alike. ■'"'•-.-
"John McCormack has put to his
credit—and . he's a young man yet,
.only 42 years of a.gep-the biggest single contribution 'td'vocai'iirti.of any
artist I know." He has learned.how to
sing a song, no matter what the song,
sgT'thaif'ybu can understand, every
word in any language he happens to
Se singing, every emotion, every single shade of expression. That's why
I call him a Master Singer."
■ Many music lovers from this district are expected to attend the McCormack concert in Canton, where
tickets are available at $1.10 to 53.30
scaling of prices, at the Geo. C. Wille
& Co., 410 N. Market Ave., Canton.

ON THE
Lillian, Gish in . I^Mitfcij^me's Great
Story, "The ■ScarJet^ter.'*
William H. Smith—"Bill"—to every
one of his friends—is the North Canton manager of the American Railway Express office on East Maple
street. Hearing that Bill was an authority on carving turkey, a writer
for The Sun approached him and ask-
eded for pointers.
"So you want a few tips on how to
carve a turkey 1 Of course I'll tell you
how I do it, although I am a much
butter turkey eater than turkey carver," said Mr. Smith, with becoming
modesty.
"It is one thing to skilfully carve
a turkey in the sanctity of your own
home with only the members of your
own little brood present and quite another proposition to dexterously dismember the bird when there is a herd
of invited guests around the festal
board.
"After everybody has sat down to
dinner and grace has been said, they
one and all fold their hands placidly
and contemplate with critical eye the
dissection of the gobbler.
Don't Watch the Cawcr
"Why do not those around the
Thanksgiving table look out the window or talk to each other, and thus
ignore the head of the house, who is
doing the gent's tailoring- work on
the turkey ? They ought to know that
it isn't good form to sit there drooling and watching him.
"It is just this critical, watchful-
waiting attitude that gets on the
nerves of the carver, even though he
may be fairly efficient at the job.
This unanimous riveting of the attention of everybody at the table on
every move he makes is what makes
him moist and uncomfortable and
often causes him to mangle and mutilate the bird in a ghastly and unworkmanlike manner," said Mr.
Smith.
"When the bird-surgeon is narrowly
watched in this way his skill oozes
away and his hand loses its cunning—
after he has rassled with the gobbler
for a spell, he begins to believe that
it hasn't got a dawg-gawned joint in
it, but .th*at. its tegs and ,>ving5 are
solid bone! .- ... '
"When you.;rise te carve the.bird
oft Tliursday," you wi'l be under "critical and close observation. Nevertheless, try your best to assume an-utterly nonchalant and sang froid air,
whether you feel that way or not.
"If the carving knife is not sharp,
you can sort of get into swing and
gain poise by giving it a few whetful
swipes.up and down on the table leg-.
Then you can playfully snip off a stalk
of celery by way of testing its edge.
This will cause a ripple of merriment
among the guests and temporarily
distract their attention from the work-
ahead of you.
• Slabbing the Turkey
.."The first step in carving is to
firmly transfix or stab the turkey
through the chest with the carving
fork, so that you can hold it in one
spot while you operate on it. This
stabbing, however, should never be
done in a violent, hasty or slipshod
manner," said Bill.
"Many a man, under the embarrassing stress of observation, has thus
punctured a gobbler's inner tube and
received a blowout of hot stuffing in
his eye for his carelessness. Either
that, or the stab has pushed the turkey off the plate to the floor and left
a greasy trail on the Oriental rug that
will never come out. Therefore insert
the fork slowly aud carefully through
the turkey's chest, but not through the
platter and on into the.table.
Scoop Out the Stuffing
"After you have sliced off all the
joints and ehiselled away all the meat
you can whittle off, the next step is
to dig a subway into the interior department of the turkey and scoop out
the stuffing or delicious upholstering
with which every Thanksgiving turkey
should be filled.
"Then it is etiquette to ask each invited guest which particular portion
of the bird he or she prefers. After
that give 'em whatever there is the
most of. Tlie head of the house who
undergoes the embarrassing carving
ordeal (and also pays for the dinner) j

A Man's Thanksgiving As Offered By
Arthur W. Newcomb.
JEWELERS MEET DEFEAT
The Marlowes of Akron are coming
to North Canton tomorrow (Thanksgiving day) for a game with the Miller Cleaners. The contest will be
staged on Portage street extension
field and the time is 2:30. Admission,
60c and 25c. The Rubber City team
is said to be a strong bunch ancl probably it will be on this occasion—extra
strong. On all sides, both in Canton
and Akron, word has gone out to
"Get the Cleaners," which means that
teams coming to North Canton make
it a rule to substitute the strongest
planks they can get for planks
(players) showing the least sign of
wear or other weakness.
This pleases everyone connected
with the Cleaners, and they sing the
old song, "The bigger they are, the
harder they fall." So the game tomorrow should contain several tingles, or thrills, as the dear girls call
'em when watching the lads tear
through the opposition's line like a
hungry tramp going through a plate
of corned beef and cabbage.

To Inspect New House On Sunday
On Dernier Road
[By FRANK BERRODIN]
On Sunday at Portage field the Miller Cleaners steam-rollered the Nusbaum Jewelers, one of' Canton's leading welterweight teams. The score
of 14 to 0 tells part of the story.
The Nusbaums entered North Canton confident of an easy victory and
with them an array of college and
sandlot stars. Above all, they brought
their reputation of wide renown.
After the final whistle, however, the
Nusbaums admitted they were beaten
by a wide-awake and fast team.
As for the Miller Cleaners, (here
were no outstanding stars, but a complete team of stars whet functioned,'
one as brilliant as.tlie. other. With the
exception of the -first quarter, there
is no-<loubt'that-this >tn)ug Miller
machine completely outplayed and
outclassed the Nusbaums in every department of the game.

Arthur W. Newcomb offered up this
personal prayer for Thanksgiving:
"A Man's Thanksgiving: ,God of
commoiisense, 1 give Thee thanks for
the heavy blows of pain that drive
me back from perilous ways into harmony with the laws of my being; for
stinging- whips of hunger and cold
that urge to bitter strivings and glorious achievement; for steepness and
roughness of the way and staunch virtues gained by climbing over jagged
rocks of hardship and stumbling-
through dark and pathless sloughs of
discouragement; for the acid blight of
failure that has burned out of mo all
thought of easy victory and toughened
my sinews for fiercer battles and
greater triumphs; for mistakes I have
made, and the priceless lessons I have
learned from them; for disillusion and
disappointment that have cleared my
vision and spurred my desire; for
strong appetites and passions and the
power they give when under pressure
and control; for my imperfections that
give me the keen delight of striving
toward perfection.
God of common and human brotherhood, I give Thee thanks for siren
songs of temptation that lure and entangle the understanding of other men
they reveal; for the weaknesses and
failings of my neighbors and the joy
of lending a helping hand; for my
own shortcomings, sorrows and lonli-
ness, that give me a deeper sympathy
for others; for ingratitude and misunderstanding and the gladness of service without other reward than self-
expression."

"Mother Mine"
"Mother Mine" is the name of the
play they gave last night and wil!
repeat tonight. It is a pastoral drama
in which a small village in tlie agricultural part of Maine plays a prominent part with its endless gossip antl
the desire of the natives to ,-go down
to Boston" some day.
The plot—if such it can be called—
is easy-going and not troublesome to
follow, and as Miranda Peasley ("Mother Mine") Dorothy Keller gives a
splendid portrayal of a real mother
to those needing "that divine institution" to guide them.
The hero is a youth of 17, Jerry
McConnell, and in enacting the role
of her adopted son William Stark displays real histrionic ability. When he
dropped his head and told Miranda,
in answer to her question, "Have you
a mother?"
"I can just remember two loving
blue eyes, and a warm cheek pressed
close* to mine. I can still taste the
salt of tears. That must have been
my mother," he was very good.
The whole play is neatly made and
generally likeable. Honest humor,

WHY HE IS THANKFUL
Because Our Troubles Are Relatively Light and Because This
Is a Land Where Honest Endeavor Finds Reward.
PUBLIC HEALTH IS GOOD
A writer for The Sun meeting-
Mayor Logan W. Becher in the city
hall asked him for a few expressions
covering Thanksgiving day.
"Get your pencil ready," saicl the
Mayor, "and I'll dictate a few."
I am thankful because I live in
North Canton, the best town of its
size in the world.
I am thankful because we have the
Community Building, four fine
churches, good schools, good police
officers, good water, good fire department, good citizens, and a good newspaper-.
Because the public health is good,
with no plagues or epidemics to cause
public alarm and danger.
Beacuse such dread scourges as tuberculosis are on the decline in Stark
county, and particularly because that
killer of babies, diphtheria, is rapidly
being annihiliated through the discoveries of science backed by the force
of public opinion.
Because the schools are fuller of
little children than they ever have
' been before and their safety on the
, public highways is a matter of con-
-. cern to all citizens.
Because hatred and intolerance are
giving way to the broader and saner
notion that the true doctrine for this
■ land of so many diverse races and
creeds is the gospel of good will and
forbearance.
Because the bootlegger knows that
North Canton is a town to keep away
from.
Because the public conscience has
been awakened to the peril of organized crime.
Because all the officials in North
Canton are pulling together to make
this a better town.
Because our program of safety first
is going/along nicely and the people
are giving it real support.
Because the elections are over and
the ^people qan get down to the simple business of living, undisturbed by
the clamor of politics. '

THANKSGIVING GAME
PROMISES A THRILL
-. "My Master Singer today is John
McCormack who has earned his title
gallantly and who carried it proudly
and with honor," writes Walter Kramer, the well-known composer and
musical authority, in discussing the
world-famous tenor who will be heard
on Tuesday evening, November 29, at
the City Auditorium, Canton, in his
last Ohio appearance of the season.
"There is no one in today's singing
world whose brow more richly deserves the laurel," he continues. "For
John McCormack has attained to the
loftiest peak of. his art—that altitude
where few have the power to withstand, the dizzy height, that domain'
where only the elite reign in undisputed glory, those few whose message
has an appeal to all, high.and.low of
bro.w, rich ind poor in musi.cal knowledge, in short, musician.and layman
alike. ■'"'•-.-
"John McCormack has put to his
credit—and . he's a young man yet,
.only 42 years of a.gep-the biggest single contribution 'td'vocai'iirti.of any
artist I know." He has learned.how to
sing a song, no matter what the song,
sgT'thaif'ybu can understand, every
word in any language he happens to
Se singing, every emotion, every single shade of expression. That's why
I call him a Master Singer."

ON THE
Lillian, Gish in . I^Mitfcij^me's Great
Story, "The ■ScarJet^ter.'*
William H. Smith—"Bill"—to every
one of his friends—is the North Canton manager of the American Railway Express office on East Maple
street. Hearing that Bill was an authority on carving turkey, a writer
for The Sun approached him and ask-
eded for pointers.
"So you want a few tips on how to
carve a turkey 1 Of course I'll tell you
how I do it, although I am a much
butter turkey eater than turkey carver," said Mr. Smith, with becoming
modesty.
"It is one thing to skilfully carve
a turkey in the sanctity of your own
home with only the members of your
own little brood present and quite another proposition to dexterously dismember the bird when there is a herd
of invited guests around the festal
board.
"After everybody has sat down to
dinner and grace has been said, they
one and all fold their hands placidly
and contemplate with critical eye the
dissection of the gobbler.
Don't Watch the Cawcr
"Why do not those around the
Thanksgiving table look out the window or talk to each other, and thus
ignore the head of the house, who is
doing the gent's tailoring- work on
the turkey ? They ought to know that
it isn't good form to sit there drooling and watching him.
"It is just this critical, watchful-
waiting attitude that gets on the
nerves of the carver, even though he
may be fairly efficient at the job.
This unanimous riveting of the attention of everybody at the table on
every move he makes is what makes
him moist and uncomfortable and
often causes him to mangle and mutilate the bird in a ghastly and unworkmanlike manner," said Mr.
Smith.
"When the bird-surgeon is narrowly
watched in this way his skill oozes
away and his hand loses its cunning—
after he has rassled with the gobbler
for a spell, he begins to believe that
it hasn't got a dawg-gawned joint in
it, but .th*at. its tegs and ,>ving5 are
solid bone! .- ... '
"When you.;rise te carve the.bird
oft Tliursday," you wi'l be under "critical and close observation. Nevertheless, try your best to assume an-utterly nonchalant and sang froid air,
whether you feel that way or not.
"If the carving knife is not sharp,
you can sort of get into swing and
gain poise by giving it a few whetful
swipes.up and down on the table leg-.
Then you can playfully snip off a stalk
of celery by way of testing its edge.
This will cause a ripple of merriment
among the guests and temporarily
distract their attention from the work-
ahead of you.
• Slabbing the Turkey
.."The first step in carving is to
firmly transfix or stab the turkey
through the chest with the carving
fork, so that you can hold it in one
spot while you operate on it. This
stabbing, however, should never be
done in a violent, hasty or slipshod
manner," said Bill.
"Many a man, under the embarrassing stress of observation, has thus
punctured a gobbler's inner tube and
received a blowout of hot stuffing in
his eye for his carelessness. Either
that, or the stab has pushed the turkey off the plate to the floor and left
a greasy trail on the Oriental rug that
will never come out. Therefore insert
the fork slowly aud carefully through
the turkey's chest, but not through the
platter and on into the.table.
Scoop Out the Stuffing
"After you have sliced off all the
joints and ehiselled away all the meat
you can whittle off, the next step is
to dig a subway into the interior department of the turkey and scoop out
the stuffing or delicious upholstering
with which every Thanksgiving turkey
should be filled.
"Then it is etiquette to ask each invited guest which particular portion
of the bird he or she prefers. After
that give 'em whatever there is the
most of. Tlie head of the house who
undergoes the embarrassing carving
ordeal (and also pays for the dinner) j

JEWELERS MEET DEFEAT
The Marlowes of Akron are coming
to North Canton tomorrow (Thanksgiving day) for a game with the Miller Cleaners. The contest will be
staged on Portage street extension
field and the time is 2:30. Admission,
60c and 25c. The Rubber City team
is said to be a strong bunch ancl probably it will be on this occasion—extra
strong. On all sides, both in Canton
and Akron, word has gone out to
"Get the Cleaners," which means that
teams coming to North Canton make
it a rule to substitute the strongest
planks they can get for planks
(players) showing the least sign of
wear or other weakness.
This pleases everyone connected
with the Cleaners, and they sing the
old song, "The bigger they are, the
harder they fall." So the game tomorrow should contain several tingles, or thrills, as the dear girls call
'em when watching the lads tear
through the opposition's line like a
hungry tramp going through a plate
of corned beef and cabbage.

On Sunday at Portage field the Miller Cleaners steam-rollered the Nusbaum Jewelers, one of' Canton's leading welterweight teams. The score
of 14 to 0 tells part of the story.
The Nusbaums entered North Canton confident of an easy victory and
with them an array of college and
sandlot stars. Above all, they brought
their reputation of wide renown.
After the final whistle, however, the
Nusbaums admitted they were beaten
by a wide-awake and fast team.
As for the Miller Cleaners, (here
were no outstanding stars, but a complete team of stars whet functioned,'
one as brilliant as.tlie. other. With the
exception of the -first quarter, there

Arthur W. Newcomb offered up this
personal prayer for Thanksgiving:
"A Man's Thanksgiving: ,God of
commoiisense, 1 give Thee thanks for
the heavy blows of pain that drive
me back from perilous ways into harmony with the laws of my being; for
stinging- whips of hunger and cold
that urge to bitter strivings and glorious achievement; for steepness and
roughness of the way and staunch virtues gained by climbing over jagged
rocks of hardship and stumbling-
through dark and pathless sloughs of
discouragement; for the acid blight of
failure that has burned out of mo all
thought of easy victory and toughened
my sinews for fiercer battles and
greater triumphs; for mistakes I have
made, and the priceless lessons I have
learned from them; for disillusion and
disappointment that have cleared my
vision and spurred my desire; for
strong appetites and passions and the
power they give when under pressure
and control; for my imperfections that
give me the keen delight of striving
toward perfection.
God of common and human brotherhood, I give Thee thanks for siren
songs of temptation that lure and entangle the understanding of other men
they reveal; for the weaknesses and
failings of my neighbors and the joy
of lending a helping hand; for my
own shortcomings, sorrows and lonli-
ness, that give me a deeper sympathy
for others; for ingratitude and misunderstanding and the gladness of service without other reward than self-
expression."
